In the center of the cemetery, on the west side of the Mausoleum, sit the Wall of Memories and Garden of Prayer. These sections of our cemetery provide unique opportunities for cremation memorialization.
The Wall of Memories offers four rows of niches for the placement of cremation urns. Each niche can accept one urn. A bronze plaque with an optional flower vase will be inscribed with the individual’s names and dates. Prices for the niches range between $1,885-$3,210, depending on the position of the niche on the wall. Easily accessible from the road and sidewalks, the Wall is a beautiful spot to reflect and remember.
The Garden of Prayer is the open, grassy area located between the Wall of Memories and our community Mausoleum. This unique garden contains a special kind of memorial called “cremorials.” A cremorial is a granite marker with a compartment for the placement of cremated remains. A bronze plaque is placed on top of the granite marker and is inscribed with names and dates. Finally, a bronze flower vase is attached to the bronze plaque.
Garden of Prayer memorials are available for both individuals (around $3,050) and companions (around $3,450). Many families appreciate this all-inclusive memorial, which combines the familiar tradition of ground burial with modern cremation choices, and allows for the placement of flower bouquets year-round.

Our pets become cherished members of our families, providing unconditional love, companionship, and joy to our lives. When they pass away, the grief we feel is genuine and profound. While our furry friends are only here for a short time, the impact they have on our lives is monumental. Here are some ways you can honor your beloved furry friend, after they’ve pass.
Create a memory box.
Putting together a box of items that remind you of a beloved pet can help you cope with their loss. Include items such as their collar, favorite toy, paw imprint, fur lock, and anything else that meant a lot to them. Keeping these items can bring comfort and closure after they have passed.
Spread their ashes somewhere meaningful.
If you choose to have your pet cremated, you can spread the ashes somewhere meaningful for your pet. You can even use the ashes to plant a tree in memory of them.
Donate to shelters in their memory
Animal shelters need donations, whether monetary donations or item donations. Donating to shelters in your beloved pet's name not only preserves your pet's memory, but also helps the animals in the shelter find their forever home.
Foster animals
Fostering is a great option if you aren't ready to get another pet but want to share the love you had for your pet with those in need. Because shelters fill up quickly, animals need foster homes. Fostering allows you to heal at your own pace, while sharing love with a pet in need.
Our pets become part of our family. During their time here on earth we share so many special moments with them, that when they are gone the emptiness left behind is unfathomable. It’s important to take proper care of yourself during this time of grief and figure out ways to keep your pet’s memory alive.
